A beginning....
.....but, wherever we choose to begin, all we end up aspiring for, is one single thing, which is called by different names by different people- life, love, passion, ardor,energy, happiness, enthusiasm, excitement, vigor, vim, brilliance. And towards this end we have means, different means like money, education, power....., perhaps even drugs! So, whatever you choose to call it... I call it, the single most objective in life- the craving for living a life that makes me smile and lets me make others smile, Radiance. And the word that I choose to quantify that objective of mine as 'Brilliant', the very sound of which, makes me skip a beat as I realise with a breath of life, that it has an aura about itself whose horizons of twilight are unshackeled by the limits of here and now, whose significance could be felt by sheer desire and ambition, the desire to see a better tommorow, the ambition to bring about a relevance to that desire that goes beyond the boundaries of the third person plural.
But, what exactly is Radiance? Perhaps.. it's the light that transforms us from the threshold of ignorance to enlightenment... perhaps it's that subtle waft of breeze which brings about that - much coveted comfort to our lives at times... or perhaps it's that tide of resplendence that drowns you in an ambience of emotional and intellectual opulence and then as they say, the rest could be, history. May be it's that sense of comfort, that lets you carry your head comfortably over your shoulders. May be it's that reassuring light at the end of the tunnel shining like a brilliant smile pregnant with the promise of a future bright and brilliant.
And so, here I'm, with an ardent hope that after all, our collective consciousness would some day realise its essential objective of whatever it is. And towards that end, whatever means we choose, may we all get on with this voyage called life, realising that it's the journey that matters, it's the means that we choose that matters... for at the end of the day as we close our eyes for that long awaited slumber, all we get to see during those last fleeting moments, is that unmistakeable glimmer of light that has led us from one post of life to the other, the light that's called hope, the light that's called love or the light that's called Mother.
Here I'm in my journey, guided by that light of mine, that would shine upon me whenever I need it the most, showing me the path towards whatever it would lead me to, towards wherever it is supposed to lead me to, with that unmistakeable dash of Brillant Radiance. For Me. For Us. Forever.
"Let there be light".
